text[Intro] (Atmospheric synth pad, ambient acoustic guitar) [Verse 1] We take a sip of coffee at the exact same time A flash of electricity, a spark sublime You wink across the room, you touch my chest But then you pull away and leave the rest I’ve been your anchor in the stormy sea A loyal shield of pure integrity But your resistance is a heavy stone And I am tired of feeling so alone. [Chorus] (Powerful, deeply moving chorus - strings swell) So I’m stepping back, I’m letting go the line I’m leaving you inside your space and mine It breaks my soul to build this missing piece To freeze the words and let the static cease But you must look into the empty chair And feel the heavy weight of what’s not there Wake up, my king, and look beyond the mask To face this truth is all I ever ask. [Verse 2] My friends all tell me that I deserve much more That I should lock the key and close the door But they don't see the mirror in your eyes The ancient soul beneath your cold disguise I know we promised in a different life To find each other through the earthly strife But I can't force the timing of the play I have to let the canvas turn to grey. [Chorus] So I’m stepping back, I’m letting go the line I’m leaving you inside your space and mine It breaks my soul to build this missing piece To freeze the words and let the static cease But you must look into the empty chair And feel the heavy weight of what’s not there Wake up, my king, and look beyond the mask To face this truth is all I ever ask. [Bridge] (Slow, rhythmic piano only) No more chasing shadows in the dark No more begging you to find the spark I give this gratitude to what we share But I must give myself the love and care When the morning breaks at five AM I’ll find the strength to breathe again... [Refrain Final] (Strings reach their highest, most moving emotional peak) In the fail, in the fracture, our love was born A beautiful sunrise on a heart that’s torn I will hold the faith across the endless blue But I’m leaving the next move entirely to you... Yeah, to you. [Outro] (Guitar fades out slowly) Every corner of my heart... is a refuge for you... Just there... Just there... Whenever you are ready. [End]
